Modified files:
usr.bin/ar write.c
Log:
Handle properly when insert zero size objects into the archive:
Do not mmap 0-size objects and do not try to extract symbol from
0-size objects, but do treat 0-size objects as qualified objects and
accept them as an archive member. (A member with only the header part)
Note that GNU binutils ar on FreeBSD ignores 0-size objects, but on
Linux it accepts them. [1] But, since this is a rare usage, we can
safely ignore the compatibility issue.
